Ben Hogan Edge CFT Iron Info

3 posts in this topic

I had purchased a set of these irons from an online buyer and I'm trying to hunt down some spec sheets (degree of each club, lie angle, shaft flexes, etc) and I'm having some problems.

I started with Callaway since I remember they bought the Ben Hogan name a while back. The response I got was that Perry Ellis Intonations purchased the trademark and naming rights to Ben Hogan but not any hard goods and that they do not support or supply any info in products previously made.

I'm hoping there is a saved PDF somewhere out there that someone here can direct me to or maybe someone has some knowledge of these irons?

Most importantly the sticker on the steel shaft is a 4 so I'm wondering what flex that is? From what I've seen there is a "3" flex and a "4" flex. I'm assuming the 4 is the stiff????

Can anyone help?

excellent PDF. AFAIK Hogan shafts came with 5 flexes. I have only seen the 3 and 4 though. I think I read somewhere, that the flex's of those shafts ran a bit less stiff than others i.e. APEX 3 considered more of a "regular" flex.

I use my 50 for everything inside 120 unless there is a very good reason not to. I'll second @allenc and suggest that you give that a try. A gap wedge usually has little bounce and works well square, a little open, or a lot open.

Thanks. I'll probably be asking you then Randall, since you have experience. I have a professional cameraman friend but that's an extreme probably not necessary for me. One objective is to get the angles right to get the tension off the joints. I want to last a few years longer!
BTW - I liked your Game Golf write up! James

Great to hear you'll supplement your video lessons with a thread here. I've enjoyed that too.
What has worked for me is to stick with what the instructor says. Religiously. Don't go chasing phantom tips as they guide you. The folks here respect the instructor's word so they typically don't give you conflicting advice.
So I use the thread as a way to keep myself focused, and I get lots of friendly visitors giving me support and encouragement.
Welcome to the world of My Swing threads. Let us know if you can't find the hints on camera angles. On my phone now and tougher to search from here than from computer.

As my introduction above stated that's the only video I have. Evolvr confirmed :). So I have to get footage for them also. Looking forward to the analysis and feedback. The bridge was just where I started the swing from and hope not a distraction. To answer your question, not sure, the results were fine but I DIDN'T like the mechanics of that swing. Thus the posting.
